Every work of art is an uncommitted crime.
THEODOR WIESENGRUND ADORNO, Minima Moralia

escape from a dreaming planet

Art is one of man's few serious activities.
AUSTIN O'MALLEY, Keystones of Thought

the tiniest of letters

In the haunted house of life, art is the only stair that doesn't creak.
TOM ROBBINS, Skinny Legs and All

as all the heavens were a bell / and Being but an ear / and i and silence some strange race / wrecked, solitary, here

The front/first page of my Flickr. I enjoy seeing the work at this size, like postage stamps.

Some recent art on book board. As much as I dig repurposing old and/or discarded items, and celebrating the ruin in that, I need to move on to some cleaner, sparer work. People are intimidated by the busy, I find; it’s as if they look but don’t see.

A sample of the latest library card art. I paint them over lunch these days (a cheap way to salvage any morning).

So here’s to November … the month that heralds the death knell of Fall, the forgettable opening act of Winter, and the uncomfortable waiting room for the long night of the soul that is Christmas.
